The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Calavo Growers CVGW-Q TOP PICK Jun 10, 2021

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Sales of avocados reached new highs during the pandemic. What slowed revenue growth for CVGW as the decline in food service demand that led to lower product prices. In fact, sales for the first half of 2021 have rebounded back as the economy reopens. Company guidance calls for a 40% increase in earnings. It pays a smallish dividend (which has grown for 9 consecutive years), that should be backed by a payout ratio around 55%. We would buy this with a stop loss at $55, looking to achieve $82 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 1.69%
